NIPPOPTILIA REGULUS
(MEYRICK)
COMB. NOV.
Oxyptilus regulus
Meyrick, 1906: 135
.
Material examined:
No specimen was available for study.
Comments:
This new combination is proposed based on the study of the original description and illustrations. The shape of the male genitalia in this species is similar to the members of
Nippoptilia
, especially
Nippoptilia issikii
. Moreover these two species are fairly close to each other in the wing pattern and characteristics, and the host plants of both species belong to the genus
Vittis
.
